Inspiration for Album art

I found this a few days before i took the photo for the front cover and i thought the bad idea was great so i built up on the idea and added the hostage idea.

This is just the music video without edits and without band shots. The coin in the music video represents
the lyrics and how alcohol addition is killing him. i think it'll fit

Album advert inspiration

Album advert Photoshoot

Photoshoot

I took a variety of styles of pictures on the green screen with the members of the band in our final music video to be our final image on the magazine advert. Out of these selected few one of them will be the image i will use to advertise the album 'Nucking futs' in the final advert product.

IPod lip sync

For my first idea for the music video i had to film the lips of my colluge in the group i was working in and mime the lyrics of a NOFX cover of the song 'Bob'. I did this by putting the camera on a tripod to ensure that the camera was steady at all times to make the video look professional and keep to the conventions of a music video. I played the music in the background of the video so the person miming can keep in rhyme with the lead singer in the original track which is important if this illusion was going to work. After this piece of video footage was shot our idea was to put it on an hand held iPod to represents everyone's mouth in the video and pass it between the group

Green screen practice with IPod

As we didn't know how the ipod screen would work on the green screen and being filmed by a video camera we decided to test it out with a short sequence of the music video ,which we had planned out in a story board, It also showed us if the sequence looked effective on the green screen or if we needed audience feedback to improve/change this. As well as this the green screen practice allowed us to see if we had set up the lighting to create the effect we want to represent in our music video.

Green screen rough cut

This is a rough cut of the first part of the music video that is all on the green screen as its the intro of the song that last about 30 seconds. We wanted to use the green screen so that it allowed us to put a background behind the person with the ipod or even create an effect so that the lyrics come up in the back ground. In addition to this we had an idea of changing the colour in the background to represent the song mood at each point over the whole of the track.

Green screen test

When i put a colour background behind the performer on the green screen there was a problem as the green carpet the college uses for the green screen had being vacum cleaned and you could see the marks which ruinded the effects. Therefore we had to rethink and decided to start on a new idea. Analysis on the PowerPoint.

My inspiration: Arctic Monkeys -Leave before the lights come on

This video by the Arctic Monkeys 'Leave before the lights come on' was my inspiration for the music video i produced as it was from a same genre of Rancid but most of all because it took its own interpretation of the song and displayed it through a reenactment of a persons experience.I thought that was an original and good way to represent the the meaning of the video in this type of format as it keeps your audience gripped on the songs lyrics to think if they agree with the interpretation

My inspiration: Arctic Monkeys -When the sun goes down

This video by the Arctic Monkeys 'When the sun goes down' was my inspiration for the music video i produced as it was from a same genre of Rancid but most of all because it took its own interpretation of the song and displayed it through a reenactment of a persons experience. As the song was about some ones life like 'bob' by Rancid it was an interesting way of displaying a music video as a short film and challenge the conventions of a normal music video which i thought was appropriate for Rancid as their attitude towards the music industry is to always challenge conventions and become orinla hence their pop punk genre.

Band Draft Ancillaries

I made three draft Album covers and one Band avert, this gave me an idea of what i want overall i made a custom band logo which i think i'll stick with for my final Ancillaries. I've mainly stuck with neutral colours because they look more formal and a lot smarter.

Bloodhound gang 'Kiss it where it smells funny':

Our first idea for the song we were going to use for the music video was 'Kiss it where it smells funny' by bloodhound gang because it was a band which is well known but the single doesn't get the recognition it deserved therefore i thought we could put our own interpretation of the song. As the genre of the song is comedy rock/punk our idea was to do a spoof or parody of the official video that has been released for the song to represent the bands immature attitude towards the song. However when we tried to lip sync the song on the camcorder it was to hard to lip mime the oringal song so we decided to use 'Bob' by Rancid instead.

My chosen song - Rancid-Bob

This is the song we are going to use for our music video which is 'Bob' by rancid but a NOFX cover of the single. We decided to choose this song because it is not well known or mainstream therefore it hasn't got a official music video for the track meaning we can have our own interpretation on what the song represents with out anyone disagreeing with it. In addition it was a band that we both take pleasure from listening to and can relate to the genre of the song as we listen to similar styles to Rancid therefore it was the perfect song to display a music video for that maybe one day will be their official video.

Inspiration-Tuborg Liquid Soundtrack 24 Hour Challenge Winner - Josh Wroe

This video gave me the inspiration to use the iPod idea by filming someones else lips miming the song lyrics and using the iPod as their own mouth because i believed it could fit into the genre of music video we were going for. However i adapt the idea to tie in with my music video and to suit my genre more as this video is to dance music not pop punk.

Inspiration-Liam Lynch: 'United states of whatever'

This music video of Liam Lynchs 'United States of Whatever' shows that an green screen can be used effectively to create a music video purely using it. This is a low budget production for allowing less established bands with not alot of money to spend on creating and promoting their music videos. This video was our inspiration for our green screen rough cut video to start the intro of my music video on the green screen as this creates a comedy effect like in the 'United States of whatever' as it was appropriate for the band we were using 'Rancid' as it represents how they don't always take things seriously. This would allow us to keep the audience entertained by using illusions on the green screen to get the meaning of the song across in an unique and original way to give the audience gradifacation. Finally it would represent the pop punk genre well by using an orginal way to display the talent of the band and their new products via the music video.

Rule of thirds video

This video on rules of thirds taught me about how the framing and composition of a camera shot is important ans can look more attractive to the audience if you follow the 'rule of thirds'. The PowerPoint illustrates in more detail.

Tripod trix

This video of 'tripod trixs' is a tutorial of some great techniques for using a tripod to your advantage while filming my music video as it not just for keeping your camcorder on. The video shows you range of techniques you can use to improve your framing shots to make the video look smoother and more interesting to the audience by creating different effects. For instance the 'dolly slide' effect which allows you to create suspense to a scene or emphasis on an object of importance to your video or just to add motion to your scene so the stop any static shots.Another technique that this video taught me was the 'crane' that can add drama to a scene you are trying to shoot.However the video also showed me how to improve a technique such as panning a shot smoothly the way the tricks works is to use a rubber band elasticity to move the camera slowly one way to create a perfect pan. Finally 'tripod trixs' shows how a tripod can become a steady cam to keep all the shots still by having a mobile camera that can move anywhere. Overall this 'Tripod trix' helped me improve my music video vastly as it showed me how important a tripod can be to a film production.
